Challenges To Healthy Eating Habits?

The challenges
to healthy eating habits have two audiences; people that are
already eating healthy and find it challenging to keep up and those who want to
start healthy eating but find it hard to begin.

Let’s start
with those you are eating healthy and find it hard to keep up. First I must
congratulate you on this healthy eating journey because there are so many health
benefits attach to it.

Therefore why
are there such challenges to healthy eating habits? The main reason is that
your mind and soul have not yet fully converted to a healthy eating lifestyle.
This distraction can be cause by you wanting to get rid of an illness, heard
about its benefits and want to try it, or have heard that it’s the best
preventative medicine and in your excitement the desires exploded but the
will to commit were stifle.

What can
also be a challenge is remembering foods that were stimulating to the taste. Sometimes
when passing a fast food restaurant the sent from food perfumes the air and stimulates
my taste buds causing me to salivate. In order for me to overcome this I had to
bring my appetite into subjection to my will.

In other
words I did not let my taste and desire for junk food overrule my will and
purpose for eating healthy food.

Try to find
out your challenges to eating healthy, know why you want to eat healthy, take
positive action, and bring your taste buds under subjection to your will.

Now for those who find it hard to begin: They
are a couple of reasons why people struggle with this aspect of eating. Let us
look at some of the reasons why eating healthy is such a challenge for most
people. Number one is…

Taste

For many
years society was raised and taught on the notion that mouth watering food that
appeals to the taste and senses were considered healthy. Even though taste was
use as a gauge to determine what was healthy and what was not, many were
ignorant of the fact that these foods had adverse effects on the body.

Choice
of foods

The choice
of foods is one of the biggest challenges to healthy eating habits. You would
find that foods like meat, dairy products, and fry food have an appealing taste
due to added MSG and other modified stimulants.

These types
of foods have an adverse effect on the mind and cause one to look upon
wholesome food like nuts, grain, vegetables, and fruits as not fulfilling.

Therefore to
unwind so many years of eating unhealthy food make it a challenge.

Convenience

Today we
live in a fast paced world where food is now on the go, minute maid, readymade,
and drive through. Therefore challenges to healthy eating habits are now an
issue of convenience. With this push button type lifestyle people are becoming
so lazy they don’t find the time to prepare wholesome food.
